"Pour nous changer efficacement, nous devions d'abord changer nos perceptions."
— Stephen Covey
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you’re trying to learn how to cook and you’ve always thought cooking is difficult and boring. If you keep thinking this way, you’ll find it hard to learn. But if you change your attitude and start thinking that cooking can be fun and you can learn new things, it becomes easier to start and improve. This idea can be applied to other areas of our lives too. For instance, if someone wants to get fit but believes exercise is too hard for them, they won’t be very motivated. However, if they start viewing exercise as an opportunity to become healthier and feel better, they might find it more enjoyable and start making progress. By changing how we see things, we give ourselves the chance to make positive changes. It's about believing in new possibilities which can then lead to real improvements in our actions and habits. So, whenever we want to make a change in life, it's helpful to start by adjusting the way we think about it.
